Title: painting oil filter housing
Post by: Iahawk on September 26, 2024, 06:39:43 PM

getting antsy for projects...and the chipped paint on my Nighthawk's oil filter housing always bothered me...so during my oil change I pulled the filter housing, cleaned and degreased, scuffed and primed 3 coats and top coated with 4 coats of satin black. Looks much better.

Well heck Hawk,
That's the cat's pajamas!
Yeah, I've painted a few things on each of my scoots - a few to repair finishes, others because I wanted a different look.

Burgman belt cover, LIKE muffler and heat shield, etc.

I quickly went right after the too much black on my S model Liberty. It came with special black trim.
Painted the heat shield gun-metal to match the rear suspension bits, swapped the mirrors out for chrome, etc.
picking it up at the dealer.....

Added Honda script graphics, and painted the inside of the screen black..... (the Euro Forza screens were dark - not avail. in the USA - but rattle cans are!) and longer stemmed mirros from a CB500X, gold adjustable levers from Japan.

man, a bright red, 300cc Honda scoot...I think that's the ultimate! (amazing what a rattle can can do, huh?)
